Inventing The Savage
Demonstrates how race/ethnicity, gender, and class contribute to the criminalizing of various behaviours and incarceration rates. This book draws on the Native women's own words, and reveals the violence in their lives prior to incarceration, their responses to it, and how those responses affect their eventual criminalization and imprisonment.
